Muscle swelling

[sarahlyn 13]

Hi I was sleeved June 2 so 4 day post op, and where they cut my abdominal muscle to remove the stomach is extremely swollen. It looks like a softball on my belly, and extremely painful. Is this normal? Anything I can do??

Call your doctor. It sounds like a hernia to me. Hopefully one of the nurses on the forum can steer you in the right direction. Since it hurts, I personally would go the the ER if I can't get a callback from my doctor. Good luck. I hope you can get your mystery lump figured out and treated.

Hopefully a trip to the ER will help resolve the issue. Good luck with your recovery.

Can you take a picture of it? It doesn't sound quite right...is it hot to touch or draining anything?

[sarahlyn 13]

No redness, nor is it hot to the touch and it's not draining anything. Spoke with my drs office they recommended icing it and made an appt for me on Monday

Good. I feel better that you will have an appointment.
